Science and Commerce of Whisky
«First we get detailed overviews of the five major whiskey nations (about 100 pages). In this case, these are Ireland, Canada (far too seldom considered), USA, Japan and of course Scotland. A selection that you can understand even as a German in the midst of a flourishing domestic whiskey industry. Especially since there is a nice chapter on “New Whiskey Countries” towards the end of the book. This is followed by about 100 pages about the production of whiskey. Some graphs with chemical formulas may not be obvious to everyone. But they are intended to supplement the text, and there are many other plates as well, x. B. a continuous still system or the distillation process n wash and spirit still. Even readers who have not studied natural sciences can understand the content of these chapters precisely and in understandable language. Each chapter ends with a “conclusion”. Ours reads like this: “The Science and Commerce of Whiskey” cannot be compared with any other whiskey book. With the large number of new publications, this is anything but a matter of course. Over the years you will come back to the book again and again. The solid binding and very good paper are helpful and pleasant.»

Review of the 1st Edition
'The authors have clearly put much effort into this book... I enjoyed the book almost as much as I enjoy whisky. Fascinating stuff from cover to cover.' Ian W. Davies, Chromatographia, 2014, 77, 1733-1734
'Sometimes, you come across a book that's so comprehensive that it's worth shouting about....a fascinating book that can be engaged with on numerous levels, even if you aren't a student of distilling.
Pop it on the shelf and consult it from time to time over the coming years.
This might be the only whisky book you'll ever need.'
